The prosecutor, Sergeant Lucky Ihiehie told the court that the accused committed the crime on August 20, 2016, at Popoola Guest House, Alapere-Ketu area of Lagos.

“The victim told the police that she met the accused some time ago and he told her that he was a pastor, giving her some messages about herself. The accused told the victim some of her problems and the barriers she was facing in life, saying that he would help solve her problems with prayers.

“After their meeting the first time, he followed her up with phone calls and asking her the kind of dreams she has been having of late.

“The last incident was when the accused told her to buy a sponge, drink, ginger and water before coming to meet him at Popoola Guest House, Alapere-Ketu in Lagos State, where the incident happened.

“He gave her a liquid substance in a cup to drink and she passed out and found herself alone the next day with her money gone.”

According to the prosecutor, a video of the illicit act was found in the phone of the accused with other previous videos of similar treatment of victims during police investigation.
